    Is it just me or does it look like that mop won't fit in that bucket?

    • easternculture on 02/03/2015 - 21:33

          Great YouTube vid. Shame I can't understand what she's saying (or what the sub-titles say either).

          But I do have to say that I'm impressed by how excited she is - especially when she discovers the feature at around the 25 second mark of the clip!

          @quakka: I can't understand either. But you don't have to understand because it's obviously just a simple stuff

      I think you meant to remove the plastic before putting the cloth into the bucket.

    • timbobjim on 02/03/2015 - 22:04

      Bought today, it's a little finicky but long story short the mop folds in half at the press of a button and then it fits inside the bucket spinner which you then spin with a foot pedal to remove the excess water. It's a little bit more effort than an old school mop but does a better job and covers more floor area so definitely better overall. If the cash back comes through then I'm happy as.

      • easternculture on 02/03/2015 - 22:16

        would you recommend the mop

          The flat mop is great, you can also use a standard mop with the bucket too so you have options. As a pair they aren't the best match especially given they are marketed together. But hey for $20 awesome. Thats about all the discussion i can handle on mops.

    • wizzlesticks on 03/03/2015 - 01:16

      Fair comment. The items aren't 'boxed' as such, but I interpreted the conditions to state that both items have to be purchased, and that they had to be 'specially marked'. In any case, if one of them is received free it's not technically a 'purchase', but I guess that's up to the promoter. However, their terms do state that the offer cannot be taken in conjunction with any other offer.

    • Geewhizz on 03/03/2015 - 06:49

      I'm thinking you're right, because the bucket has not been purchased.

    "The Cash Back offer amount is paid by way of Australian Dollars, which will be

    Looks like they haven't changed the way they do their cash back. They send cash through the post via regular mail, not registered.

    • easternculture on 02/03/2015 - 22:50

      Woolworths does the same, Cash for easter is sent via Regular Post

  • mte555 on 03/03/2015 - 05:31

    Hi,

    So if I use the coupon and get the bucket free, would I still qualify for the cashback since the bucket is not purchase? It says purchase mop and bucket. And the price online for the mop is $42.99 and bucket is $32.24. My interpretation is $75.23 and claim$20 cashback so it will be $55.23. Please confirm.

    • Geewhizz on 03/03/2015 - 06:51

      If you want a definitive answer you'll have to wait until 90 days after someone claims.

      Failing that, it's up to you to decide whether or not you're purchasing the bucket. Methinks not

    • yojabbajabba on 03/03/2015 - 08:26

      Yes you will still get the cashback as the bucket will turn up on the receipt (at $0.00 due to the coupon). Therefore you have evidence that you have purchased BOTH, and will be elegible for the cashback

      • timbobjim on 03/03/2015 - 09:30

        correct my receipt shows two separate line items for the mop and bucket at usual price then the coupon offer rebate so this 'should' be legit for cashback

  • nahi11 on 03/03/2015 - 13:50

    I have my doubts with condition "offer cannot be taken in conjunction with any other offer". Although, the promotions are run by different parties and don't really harm each others interests.

    Anybody wanna give them a call? :p

    • gizmojo on 03/03/2015 - 22:10

      …or just show the voucher (as linked in the OP) on your smartphone. When I tried it, the checkout operator simply typed in the numbers for the bar code after they scanned the mop.

    Using the mop & bucket - I'm not impressed.

    You need a manual to work out how to mop your floor :-(

    Have an earlier Vileda Mop + Bucket which works well. Far simpler. But needed to replace mop head, and probably whole mop after over 5 years use. So $20 sounded like a bargain. Mop includes 2 click on microfiber mop heads.

    [The mop is used by different carers cleaning my Father's house, so needs to be simple to use. He can't explain how to mop a floor each week.]

    This mop is probably a good microfiber timber/ tile floor sweeper. It has a large head (410mm x 150mm) & adjustable long maneuverable handle. But the use with a bucket seems poorly thought out.

    Using the bucket is a pain. First click down the black lever on the mop base by stepping on it- to make it fold. (Firmly pushing mop down by handle clicks mop head in place.)

    Press down too hard on that latch & the pins it pivots on break off as just happened to me. Mop is dead after few minutes use! The mop assembly needs to outlast many mop heads! FAIL!!

    Then try to fit it into the bucket to rinse. The maximum water level barely covers it. That is if it folds into a 'W', but if it stays as a 'V' it is twice as high as the water level. A quick flick of the mop should bring the desired 'W' shape. Agh!!

    Then even harder to do - into the spinner. I have to use my hand every time on the mop head to fit it. That's not what I expect from a 'Premium' system!

    This is where I realised why the bucket is so deep, even though the maximum fill line barely covers the mop when rinsing. (250mm deep, 110mm max water level) It needs to be deep to stop the spray from the spinner.

    It is a large based bucket (490mm x 300mm) - which does not fit easily into most sinks etc. If you need to tip the bucket to fit under a tap the max water level marker is difficult to gauge.

    And 24 hours after last spin, the mop head is still damp!

    Really this is not worth $20, and certainly a rip off at $70RRP :-(

    • matt_will_fix_it on 06/03/2015 - 02:28
      +1

      Thanks - you just saved me $20!

    • bogstation on 08/03/2015 - 16:43

      The bucket is definitely not very well thought out. You have to bend down and use your hand to get it into the spinner, every time. As you say it doesn't get rinsed very well if it does not fall in the "W" shape, and I dont bother to fill to the max mark as I'm only in a one bedroom. It is good at covering large area fast as the head is very big and, well, flat. I still think normal cotton shag heads are the best for cleaning as you can really push in just one spot, not have the force dispersed over such a large area. For 20 dollars it will do for me with my not very dirty small place, but when it dies I'm going to back to shaggies.

  • dumdidum on 05/03/2015 - 21:19

    "Specially marked"

    Does that exclude purchases from Woolworths Online then?

    • argonbay on 08/03/2015 - 02:12

      The cashback application is done online and a copy of the receipt needs to be uploaded with the application.

      There is no mention of requiring proof that the mop and bucket were specially marked.

      • dumdidum on 08/03/2015 - 13:34

        Thanks argonbay, but I think it does say "specially marked" in the helpmeclean link

        So I dunno if I should risk buying it then not being able to get money back later

        • argonbay on 08/03/2015 - 15:18

          Yep, it definitely does say "specially marked" in the helpmeclean link. But when you fill in the online application for the cashback the only requirement is to submit the completed form and a copy of the invoice. They would have no way of telling from the online application whether the items were specially marked or not.

  • povertytrap on 06/03/2015 - 02:12

    Thanks for the advice, BrucefromAustralia, I am losing some enthusiasm for this deal now. Ah well, always hated cleaning!

    • INFIDEL on 06/03/2015 - 08:12

      I hate poorly designed products more than cleaning.

      I have been very happy with Vileda cleaning products in the past, so was very disappointed with this poor design from a good company.

      It's an overly complex system to do a simple task.

      Even if you get used to it's idiosyncrasies, there is still its Achilles heel - the 2 plastic pins in the lever that can shear off so easily. It's not a matter of if - but when those will break, rendering your premium cleaning system just more landfill.

      Once those little plastic pins break, it's like watching an injured animal being stalked - you know it's all over. The mop head flops around, turning on its side, refusing to clean the floor.

      It's a dark day when I turn down a $50 saving off $70RRP. Revoked my +. Handing in my mop+bucket to Woolies.

  • squeeb on 08/03/2015 - 22:35

  • brownbag on 12/03/2015 - 08:14

    I need a new bucket anyway soon, and a flat mop for occasional use (under lounges), so don't mind the weakness of the mop so much. is the bucket still useful for standard Vileda mops or does it have the same issues when used with them?

    Also, has anybody bought one of these online? I can't add the bucket. Do I automatically get one when I apply the code?

    • INFIDEL on 12/03/2015 - 08:51

      The standard Vileda mop does not sit low enough into the spinner for the high bucket walls to collect the spray, so your legs & floor gets wet. I gave it a try.

    Well, wha' d'ya' know…….

    No sooner did I report this to Fair Trading (at 1.11pm this afternoon) as I'd received no further reponse from the company, I get this response at 3.57pm………..

    e-mail I received after making an enquiry:

    You had made an entry to claim for the $20 cash back however you had already received the free bucket offer at Woolworths ($30 value), so were not eligible for the cash back as per point 18 of the Terms and Conditions (this offer cannot be taken in conjunction with any other offer).

    We have now put a note on the entry page clarifying this: http://www.helpmeclean.com.au/premium5cashback/

    I hope this clarifies this matter for you.

    I replied:

    That one sentence on terms and conditions did not make it clear supermarket promotions were included. In fact, I know of people who also purchased from Woolworths on the same promotion and also received the cashback from you. The "Woolworths" note that has been added was not there when i completed the form, I have a screenshot to prove this.

    I can used those people as evidence should I need to take this matter further.

    No response received so I complained to fair trading and e-mailed Vileda the fair trading reference.
    Received the following reply (on the same day):

    Even though you read and accepted our terms and conditions where it clearly states that the cash back was not valid with any other offer (Clause 18), we appreciate that there may be a confusion and therefore we decided to honour your cash back.

  • INFIDEL on 18/05/2015 - 07:50

    I'm glad I returned my mop;-)
    Still got the clause 18 letter. What? No Cashback on a returned mop?

    As I posted, the mop head was so poorly built, & the bucket did a worse job than the old Vileda one.

    The cleaning system was far too complex for a simple task. I think the same team who designed this "Premium" cleaning system also designed the Cashback!

    Happy with the simple old Vileda system. Updated with a new Vileda mop when the mop or bucket were $9 @Woolies. Much easier to use.
